'That's what My Mirror said...'

 I looked in My Mirror today and it told me
 that my hair wasn't straight enough; and my thighs were too big.
My Mirror told me that I wasn't worthy to step outside my door. 
It told me that everyone would look at me in revolting disgust
...& I believed it.

My Mirror told me that all people see when they look at me are the blemishes on my face.
My Mirror tells me everyday that I'm not good enough 
& I'll never measure to the beauty that I obviously do not have.
...& I believed it.

And since I believe what it tells me...
I puke my guts out till there is nothing left of me but bone,
I 'exercise' myself till I collapse from pure exhaustion,
I count calories till it consumes my life. 
All I ever think about is what My Mirror tells me.
& My Mirror tells me...
 that no one could ever possibly love someone who looks like me.

An animated object told me that I wasn't the "Fairest of them all",
...& I believed it.

Stupid me...
